Q

An inflammatory mediator that dilates blood vessels is

Histamine
Prostaglandins
Inflammatory exudates

A

Histamine

17
Q

The purpose of an increase in tissue fluid volume during inflammation is

  • To allow parenchymal cells to regenerate the area of injury
  • To allow immune cells to travel quickly to destroy pathogens
  • To support the activity of labile cells during tissue repair

Somatic pain
Referred pain

A

Referred pain
